Pitch :
Yama Loka Terminus speaks of the irreducible human factor, of life invading the most unlivable spaces, and of tufts of weeds breaking through the abandoned macadam. It is composed of accounts, narratives, confessions. Each narrator is someone normal, someone real, a hero.
Yirminadingrad, despite its excess, truly exists.
The war, the madness, and the violence of institutions and human relationships go beyond the city limits and beyond those of a book.
We find ghosts and gods even in our own lives.
Nothing has been invented, only a few names have been changed.

The authors :
Léo Henry & Jacques Mucchielli are twenty eight and thirty years old. They live respectively between Strasbourg and Brazil and along the Paris beltway, on the edge of Chinatown. One of them has been diagnosed as a pathological liar, the other one is an impostor and con artist. Don’t believe anything they tell you...
